The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from The Children of the Night by Edwin Arlington Robinson: And angel fingers wove, and unaware,
Dead leaves to garlands where no roses are.

I feel the coming glory of the Light!
On the Night of a Friend's Wedding
If ever I am old, and all alone,
I shall have killed one grief, at any rate;
